Open Wide!!!



So sorry about the lack of posts at such an eventful time of year but we had a lot going! Most of all the wonderful, yes so wonderful, event of me getting my tonsils out ;( My advice to anyone thinking of having this done... DON'T DO IT!!!!!
It's been pretty terrible and painful but we had to do it now because jon is home for 2 weeks at the holiday time and I needed him here to take care of me and the kids. Boy he's been a trooper. My cute husband is cleaning the house right now while I post this.. should I feel bad about that? I kind of do. He's been so great though, making all our dinners and playing lots of webkinz and nintendo with the kids! He's probably excited to get back to work!
The biggest struggle has actually been keeping my milk supply up. I have not been wanting to eat at ALL because it's just not worth the agonizing pain and normally I'd say "SWEET" I have no appetitie (that never happens, I love food too much!) but now I have this little guy to feed so personal wants aside I've had to guzzle lots of broth and veggie soup. I am able to endure as long as I stay on my Percacet. That is my best friend right now. But for some reason it is decreasing my milk supply??? We have figured out some little tricks but Bridger is having to be pretty patient with me. Good thing it won't hurt him to have his meals decreased a little. He had enough storage for a while!
So in the mean time; Jamba Juice is stocking my freezer and I'm trying to get a couple more bowls of soup down ( Oh I would kill to have chips and salsa right now, The chili's ones are my weakness)

Hope you all had a great Christmas and NewYear! I look forward to reading all about it!

oh I am so sorry to hear about your tonsils! That is just horrible! When my mil supply was decreasing I bought these nifty pills called more milk plus. You can get them at any Lactation specialist place, but they are way cheaper on ebay. They helped me out a ton!!!

That is no fun. I still have mine and hope that I never have to get them out. I hear that it is a a lot worse to get them out as an adult then a child. I hope you start to feel better soon.

That sucks! Hope you recover soon!

Oh, what a pain, literally. I hope are quickly recovered and that things can resume with your milk supply. Drinking lots of water is, of course the most important thing but sometimes it just takes time to regain supply after your body has experienced a trauma. Just nurse, nurse, nurse! Good luck!!!

I'm sorry you've had to go through all that -- how miserable! That's so great that Jon's been able to be home to help you though. Let me know if I can do anything! Hope you guys had a great Christmas...I can't wait to hear about it. We'll have to get together soon!

Oh I feel so bad for you! I am glad your hubby is taking such good care of you though:o)

Let me know when you're feeling better and we'll head out for some chips and salsa...ever had the queso at Cafe Rio? It's YUMMY!
